Christmas may just be around the corner, but it is New Year’s Day that Kevin Wilkin is looking forward to, and the reopening of the transfer window.

Wilkin watched his depleted Nuneaton Town side slip to a 2-0 home defeat against Woking and had no complaints over the result which ended a difficult week following the FA Trophy exit to Gosport on Tuesday night.

“I don’t think overall we’ve done enough, we’ve hit the bar and the keeper’s made a fantastic save but when the opportunities present themselves you’ve got to take them,” Wilkin said, “We needed to take Woking out of their stride and get our noses in front.

“Second half we’ve switched off and the goals are disappointing for me, we haven’t been leaking goals like that but today they’ve hit us twice and it’s difficult thereafter.”

Boro could only name four substitutes, with a number of senior players still on the treatment table, and Wilkin admitted he will be looking to bring some players in in the new year.

“I’m going to try and get busy when the window opens,” he added, “I’m going to speak to the chairman and see what we can do and whose available but it would be nice to bolster the squad with a couple of additions.

“It’s the depth that you need, being able to change things and have people playing knowing there’s players sitting on the bench itching to get into that side. It does have a mental effect and we’ve not had that.”
